I’m so pleased with this purchase. The color is actually as is in the picture and matched my tv console perfectly. I think any piece you get delivered that has to be put together, be patient. I had no issues, scratches, or complications while putting it together(I’m also a 5 ft woman that put this together herself with no issues). It’s a beautiful piece and is very steady solid. Not solid wood I believe but not the cheap particle wood material. Highly recommend!
